,Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 6,1911.

Application filed November 19, 1909. Serial No. 528,893.

To all 'whom it may concern:

' Be it known that I, VALRE ALFRED FYNN, a subject of the King of England, residing at London, England, have invented a certain new ,and useful Alternating-Current Motor,

of which the' following is such a full, clear,4

and exact description as will enable any one skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification. y

yfinvention relates to motors having at least two windings on the induced membe-r and a magnetic bridge or shunt between said two windings.

The object of my invention is to make said magnetic shunt as. fully effective as possible at starting and as fully ineffective as pos- -f the magnetic material of present invention 'I show'sone form of a sible under normal running conditions.

n a concurrent application, Serial No. 506,955, filed July 10, 1909, I have disclosed a magnetic shunt inductively responsiveto the flux threading it. In thatapplication vthernagnetic shunt as to be the seat of the flux threading According to the' surround the magnetic shunt with a closed circuit of suitable conductivity and so placed that the fiux thread- Aing the magnetic shunt will induce screening currents in said closedcircuit. I may apply this invention to a magnetic shunt which is or is not inductively responsive in the sense of the, aforesaid concurrent application.

' Inthe accompanying `drawings, Figure 1 p permanently closed. circultfembracin rfthemagnetic shunt between two windings disposed in the openings of the induced memberyFi'g. 2 shows another form of sucha circuit; Fig. 3 discloses means for independently controlling said closed circuits; Fig. 4,.shows means for collectively controlling said closed 'circuitsf In Fig. 5 the v.ponductors ofthe Itwo rotor windings is so chosen and disposed the currents induced by said magnetic shunt.

' A`.'sefparated by thefma'gnetic' shunt form part thecircuits adapted to be automatically closed aboutthe said magnetic shunts. In

Fig. 6 the closed circuit 4.embraces only` part' 'i of the magnet-ic shunt.

Referring-to Fig. I1, the induced member,

-whichi'in such machines is usually.7 the rotor,

is shown at land is'supposed tobe laminated in the usual manner. A set of open slots'2 placed wclose to the periphery are adapted to .i accommodate l.one of the windings to be dis- .fposed on the induced member.

-not be too low. n

In Fig. 2 which shows a transverse sectlon posed on the induced member. A set of holes-3 in the rotor laminations are adapted to accommodate a second winding to be dis- According to this invention I provide a circuit 4 inclosing the magnetic` bridge or shunt between the slots 2 and 3. This loop may inclose the whole of that bridge or only apart of it as shown in Fig. 6. In Fig. 1 it is shown as being permanently short-circuited. The resistance through the fcenter of slots or holes 2 and 3 of the induced member 1, the outer winding 5 disposed in the slots 2 is supposed to be a commuted winding; the inner winding disposed in the holes 3 is supposed to be a squirrel cage winding with the end rings 21 and 22.l The bar 2O of the squirrel-cage forms part of the circuit inclosing the magnetic shunt between slot 2 and holes 3L In Fig. ,'3 the circuits 4 inclosing the magnetic shunts between the slots 2 and 3 are provided with switches 6 which can be closed at any desired stage of the starting performance or the normal operation of the machine. These switches can be closed in any desired manner.

In Fig. t the closed circuits embracing the magnetic shunts between the set of slots 2 and the set ofi holes 3 are all connected in series, the result being a closed winding 4a resembling `a Gramme ring winding. yThe connections are so made that no currents will flow inv that winding until two or more points thereof are interconnected. -In this figure whichcissupposed to represent a twopole rotor three equidistant vpoints of 4a are connected byfmeans of the conductors 7, 8,

of this closed circuit should- 9 to slip-rinlgls 10, 11,12, which may be I mounted on t el rotor shaft and a're connected by way of the brushes 13, 14, 15 to a three-leg impedance or pure resistance 19.

' Contacts 16, 17, 18 enable a regulation ofthe amount ofkresistance between the brushes. Y

-At starting the resistance' is preferably 'iny may be reduced. as themotor rings may be d1-v lnite -and gathers speedor the sli rectly short circuited a r the motor has reached a'fsufficientlspeed. The outerv slots 2 may contain a commuted. winding lindi- Y cated at v5 and the inner slots or holes may contain a winding20 permanently closed on itself. Instead slots 2 a squirrel cage lor the like may be of a commuted winding in' poses,

'\of both squirrelcages Aareconnected at one A reached. These short-,circuiting wed es are oneslip-iing and 23 'to another similarly tothe modification already illustrated in Fig. 4:.V

At the other` end eac'h squirrel cage has anv independent.l short-circuiting ring, 23 for. '50 and 22* -for- 20. Wedge-shaped segments`2/i are sodisposed as to come into contact with 23and 22a after a sui'icient speed hasl been kept out of contact with 2 3 or 2211 :w en at rest byspringsp25. Instead-of short-circuit-k ing 22. and 23 automatically as shown, this can be doneby hand by connecting 22L to A motor embodying this vinvention can'b'e arran ed tov operate with'sngle phase/or polyp ase currents, itbeing onlyfnecessary tosuitabl choose'the two windings disposed on the-ind ked 50,y those of the inner, 20. All the. conductorsl and means .and a circuit around the ma uced member and separated by the` y magnetic shunt and constitute circuits accordingly.

the primary Having Jfully described my invention, what I-claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:

'1. A rotor .provided with two windings, a bridge of magnetic material separating said windings, and means for rent to flow around at least bridge. 2. A

part of said rotor provided `with -a commuted Vwinding and asquirrel-cage winding, 'a

bridge of magnetic material separating said permitting a curv windings, and 'means for permitting a current to iow around at least part of, said. l bridge.

3. A rotorl provided with a commuted winding anda squirrel-cage winding, a bridge of ma etic material separating said a circuit nsurrounding said bridge, for controlling the current flowing in said circuit.O ff 4. .A rotor provided with'- tw'oradially displaced sets of o enngs windingaawin ing -in each set of openings, etic material radially -dislwindings,

lyingV between' each 4pair .o placed openings.

In -testimony whereof, Iliave'hereunto set seal in the presence my hand and aiixed my of the two'subscribing witnesses. l p i VALRE ALFRED FYNN. [ma] n' Witnessessj f f, y I E. E.II1JrfFMAN, 'ELI'z-Anfria BAILEY.
